A bear is transported on one of three tr
A bear is transported on one of three trucks carrying 19 bears from the southern Vietnamese province of Binh Duong as they arrive at the Moon Bear Rescue Center in Tam Dao district, in the northern province of Vinh Phuc on January 21, 2010. An animal welfare group in Vietnam on January 18, 2010 rescued 19 bears that were living in cramped containers on an illegal bile farm, the group said. Bear bile is extracted with needles in a process which activists say endangers the bears. In traditional Chinese medicine it is prescribed as a health tonic, an anti-inflammatory, a cure for liver and heart ailments and an aphrodisiac.
